Sumio Shimoyama and his team travelled from Japan to
compete in the 2011 J24 East Coast Championship, few of
us knew what an impact he would make on our community
during his visit. The values of fair play, kinship and
compassion truly rubbed off on the fleet in a positive

wreaked upon Japan by the Tsunami this past March, we
felt compelled to act.</SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><SPAN>As
many of you know, on March 11, 2011, Japan's eastern
seaboard was struck by a massive Earthquake and Tsunami,
which left destruction and hardship in its wake. All of
the assets of the Kesennuma High School Sailing Club
were lost. As the region and its schools rebuild,
priorities are set. While it is understandable that High
School sailing might not top the project list, youth
sailing is an activity that is near and dear to our
hearts. Without private funding, the Kesennuma High
School Sailing Club will no longer exist. Please donate
what you can to keep the sailing dreams of our Japanese
brothers and sisters alive.</SPAN></P>
